I’ve had this spot on my tongue for about a year?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hi. I’m 20 years old and I’ve had this place on my tongue for about a year. I first thought it was an ulcer, but never thought anything about it as I pretty much forgot it was there. It has not gotten bigger or caused me any pain. It’s just there. I don’t have any other spots on my tongue at all. I was on prednisone last year for 4 months and got off of it in July. I started hydrochoroquine for an autoimmune disease in February along the steroids. I noticed the place in March or April. I stopped the hydrochloroquine in November because of a seizure. Found out I have epilepsy and am on lamotrogine. My blood has been tested several times so I don’t think it could be cancer or something seriously wrong. I have honestly forgotten to ask my doctor about this place until now. My medical bills are through the roof and I’d rather not go to the doctor for this place on my tongue. If you could please give me an opinion on what I should do for this, I would be thankful.

I have had an extreme pain in my groin, that the doctors have not been able to figure out?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Several years ago I had an angiogram, everything was great. for the past 3 and a half years I have had an extreme pain in my groin, that the doctors have not been able to figure out. for the first three years it was so severe that I couldn’t do anything to change the pain. Since January I have had three events where the pain has dropped a little, still extreme though. last night was the last, now if I compress the vein at about the location of the insertion, my pain goes away completely. what should I do

I noticed I have high blood pressure, is this due to Abilify?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello,
I am 33 years old female and this year I noticed I have high blood pressure. I am 5’5 and 155 pounds. I have gained a bit of weight (30 pounds) because of taking abilify for psychosis. I am doing well and no longer experiencing any symptoms. However recently I noticed I am measuring high blood pressure. At the highest it was 153/93. Last year my blood pressure was fine but I had a high heart rate running over 100 beats per minute. Now I have high blood pressure. Please advice can this be a result of my medication? or weight gain?

What could I do in order not to go so many times to the restroom?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hi I am a male person and my age is 55, I exercise every day 1-2 hours, I noticed that like 2-3 months ago I started drinking more and more water than before to the point that I needed to have a bottle of water with me all the time, but it is uncomfortable because I have to go to restroom almost every 2 hours during daytime and wake up like 3-4 times during night time, I noticed that I lost weight too, and muscular mass also because my pants now are very loose, I should be more than happy because maybe the gym is working but those many visits to the restroom is what is getting uncomfortable and getting out of control. is this normal? or what could I do in order not to go so many times to the restroom, I started to drink less water to see what happen, but the sensation is still there

I have struggled with intermittent pain for years now?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I have struggled with intermittent pain for years now. Usually deciding that I’m just being a baby and popping a few ibuprofen. (About 800mg five or more times a week, due to pain or headaches) The pain usually begins in/near joints and generally radiates out. So sometimes my whole arm will ache from shoulder to elbow to palm and sometimes it’s my legs and hips. I also have lower back pain. Most of these pains tend to begin at the end of the day. Though I wake up stiff and in pain in the morning for up to a couple hours.
Two years ago my jaw, which was sore and stiff sometimes, locked up and wouldn’t relax for months, it was horribly painful and very scary. I noticed my face was very hot, though never looked swollen or red. I was unable to open my mouth farther than halfway. I got some dental work done and worked with a TMJ specialist, who provided me with a very expensive occlusal guard(which did not help over months and months) Eventually my jaw loosened and now it flares up a few times a month, but doesn’t seem to stick around as long.
Two months ago my right eye suddenly began to ache and a thick cloudy fog fell over my vision. I saw an opthalmologist who diagnosed uveitis and gave me steroid drops, which helped almost immediately. He suggested I have some blood work done.
My PCP found elevated c-reactive protein and antinuclear antibodies? And referred me to a rheumatologist.
Today was my appointment. (I should mention a pretty light pain day) The doctor looked me over and really only seemed interested in my low back pain. She ultimately decided I probably have inflammation and probably won’t find a cause, so she gave me humira and sent me on my way.
I’m feeling a little lost and confused at her lack of interest and sudden drug prescription. Am I crazy? I realize this is probably weird to follow and it’s very condensed. I had just expected her to be more interested in my symptoms and finding a cause. Are there any suggestions for me to move forward?

I inserted an implanon on 26 October 2017 and am still bleeding?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I inserted mine an implanon on 26 October 2017 and am still bleeding. There was a brief 2 week period in December when the bleeding stopped but it has been almost 5 months of continuous bleeding. I just read something that says you could be bleeding for the full time you have the implanon in. My doctor it will be 6 months at most. I could be bleeding for 3 full years? What causes the bleeding?

I’m experiencing a strange feeling in my head and throughout my body?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I’m experiencing a strange feeling in my head and throughout my body. Tuesday night, at around 9:40 pm, I was at work and taking my final break. I suddenly started to feel a sick feeling in my stomach. Almost immediately, my head felt strange. It feels like vertigo, but I’m not experiencing the ‘room spinning’ feeling. It’s like a tightness all over my head. My vision seems affected by this, I’ve been noticing a “jumpy” or twitchy sight. It’s not my eyes, but whatever it is that I look at, it seems to twitch.

My body is shivering like I’m cold, but I’m not. I’ve also experienced a sudden need to have a bowel movement. Not diarrhea, but I’ll suddenly get bloated, gas pains, and a need to go to the bathroom.

I haven’t slept well since I got home from work. What I’m feeling in my head doesn’t let me relax and sleep. I suspect what I had for lunch at work is the cause of it.
